[quote=Anonymous]by middle school, boys really need a positive male role model/peer. Unfortunately, not many female nannies can relate or develop bond that is maternal on some level with a teen boy. They don't need another mother, they need a guy they can hangout with and toss a football around or talk about girls with. I think the issues you face with them are probably more because your a woman filling in as mom rather than a man filling in as coach/friend. I think you need to move on and tell the parents to hire a male nanny. Also, I can relate to the not loving the kids in your care. I care deeply for the children and would do anything to protect them but I do not love them anywhere remotely like their parents. At the end of the day they are not mine or part of my family. I will most likely lose all contact with them after my job is over (even if i try to stay in touch). But this doesn't mean i give them the best care possible or withhold affection. Its more like a teacher's or daycare provider's attachment to their students. [/quote]
